No Country for Old Age: America’s War on Aging from Valley Forge to Silicon Valley
E rin -M arie L egacey . Making Space for the Dead: Catacombs, Cemeteries, and the Reimagining of Paris, 1780–1830
Historians of death in France work in the shadow of two historians who painted with very broad brushstrokes and covered centuries of human practice surrounding death. But even as Michel Vovelle, in La mort et l’Occident de 1300 à nos jours (1983), focused on the themes of religion and secularization, and Philippe Ariès, in L’homme devant la mort (1977), emphasized family and individualism over the longue durée, they both saw the late eighteenth a…
Meghan K. Roberts. Sentimental Savants: Philosophical Families in Enlightenment France
The cover of Meghan K. Roberts’s Sentimental Savants (an image also reproduced inside) announces the book’s central concern and its original take on Enlightenment France. The Jacques-Louis David portrait of Antoine Lavoisier and his wife, Marie-Anne, that hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art—the renowned chemist pauses in his writing, scientific instruments before him, to gaze up at his spouse, who looks out at the viewer—has been employed bef…
Hyung Wook Park. Old Age, New Science: Gerontologists and Their Biosocial Visions, 1900-1960
Those who have written on the history of gerontology have long emphasized the interdisciplinarity of the field; indeed, an important theme has been whether gerontology is a discipline in its own right or essentially a place of intersection for other, more established ones. Historian W. Andrew Achenbaum (Crossing Frontiers: Gerontology Emerges as a Science, 1995) and sociologist Stephen Katz (Disciplining Old Age: The Formation of Gerontological K…

I was Wife and Mother: French Widows Present Themselves to the Ministry of Justice in the Early Nineteenth Century
Royal ordinances of 1814 and 1815 gave judges and other fonctionnaires of the Ministère de la Justice the right to demand retirement pensions; they also gave widows the right to demand a portion of such pensions. In making those demands, individuals explained their life histories, summed up their careers, made claims about merit and need, and expressed their hopes for retirement. This article explores female self-images through the study of lette…

The Vanishing Children of Paris: Rumor and Politics before the French Revolution
Looking for grandparents in the French Révolution
Récent literature on the history of old age in France has pointed to the expression of a new image of old age in the second half of the eighteenth century and to the representational uses of old persons during the French Révolution. This article explores some of those uses and indicates the relative paucity of references to grandparenthood among them. Whether in the fête de la vieillesse or in Revolutionary-era anticipations of the welfare state,…

Monumental Politics: National History and Local Memory in French Monuments aux Morts in the Department of the Aisne since 1870
Politics, Culture, and Class in the French Revolution
When this book was published in 1984, it reframed the debate on the French Revolution, shifting the discussion from the Revolution's role in wider, extrinsic processes (such as modernization, capitalist development, and the rise of twentieth-century totalitarian regimes) to its central political significance: the discovery of the potential of political action to consciously transform society by molding character, culture, and social relations. In…
Le vieillard dans la société française du XVIIIe siècle: Images et réalités
La culture de la France moderne avait exprimé une antipathie extrême envers les personnes âgées, surtout envers leur façon de garder la propriété mais aussi envers leur survie elle-même. Les sermons avaient présenté la propriété comme un obstacle vaniteux au passage à l'au-delà, les médecins avaient expliqué la vanité comme maladie des vieux, et les dramaturges avaient créé des vieillards déplaisants qui se refusent à mourir ou à abdiquer leur co…
